I have always been very pleased with the service all round, a lovely place. Light, airy also clean to a high standard. Staff are always pleasant and attentive, even though they may be under pressure at times. I am always made to feel welcome on my monthly visits and very convenient as I only live at

Due to Covid-19, it's the first time I had visited my sister in a long time. I have kept in touch on the phone and know that my sister has been kept safe and well throughout this time. The staff have been excellent with looking after my sister. It was good to see her again and she looked well and has
daily been encouraged and given activities which she loves.
I am always welcomed in the home on visits by the staff and they look after my sister so well. It's been lovely to see her so happy.

Scholars Mews' staff have been amazing during this awful Covid-19 crisis. My mother has been so well looked after and protected from the virus. The excellent policy and procedures for all the residents' care has prevented the spread of the disease. Residents have had many more activities arranged and
the staff have also arranged video chats with relatives. I have been kept fully informed of my relative's health and well-being throughout, and the staff are now arranging visits in accordance with social distancing rules. The staff are knowledgeable, caring and professional and I would recommend the home to anyone who wants a lovely caring environment for their family member.

Really poor care. Mum was moved floors away from her friends. I asked that she was taken back each day, didn't happen. She was supposed to be weighted regularly, didn't happen. She went in able to walk but was in a wheelchair within a month. Bedsores. No activities. Not fed.

My grandmother has been in the home for two years now. I can't fault the place usually, but I want to say how the team have excelled themselves in these very difficult times. With phone calls, the care has been second to none.
I'm shocked to hear there have been complaints in this extremely difficult
time.
I want to thank you all, you're doing an amazing job.

My mother has spent the last 8 years of her life in Scholars Mews. The love, care and respect by all members of staff has been remarkable throughout that time. We could not have asked for a better place for my mother to be. I wish the home and all of the staff the best for the future and I will always
remember the sensitivity of the staff during her final days. Thank you.

First-time respite care in Scholars Mews for my wife, who settled in very quickly. Staff were all very friendly, professional and readily available, as and when required. Apparently, all went well because the Manager reported my wife was welcome to come back. I hope to arrange a further break mid-December.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.562)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.562) out of 10 for Scholars Mews Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.562 for Scholars Mews Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (175 Excellents x 5) + (78 Goods x 4) + (21 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 274 Ratings = 4.562

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Scholars Mews Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
